My "Technology in the Practice Room" seminar is based around taking the technology that students and educators have available around them and demonstrating how these devices can be used during practice to make a more productive, insightful and fun practice session. The clinic will demonstrate concepts using delay and reverb effects, multi-tracking, and use of communications software and webcams to heighten the learning experience.
